Solar Eclipse 2012

While here in Menifee, we got to witness the recent solar eclipse.  I remember using a couple index cards to view it many years ago in grade school, but we made a bigger viewer this time.  A recent antennae purchase provided us with a cardboard tube that was about 5 feet long.  We put aluminum foil on one end, and white tissue paper on the other, poked a small hole in the foil, and we had our viewer.  It is a little tough to aim and hold steady, but we made use of some of the tree’s to get it done.  Here’s a few pictures.
